By this week’s note to Germany re- \hm to the Frye case, Secretary {Tansing sets forth again the position this country and its opposition to ‘the reference of that case to the prize feourt. It is made plain, even by the of Germany’s previous communi- m, that it is an instance where there has been a treaty violation and /4t therefore is not a matter for a jprize court to fix up but for an ad- through dlplomatic chan- ‘The mote argues out the case from fhe very standpoint which Germany hasyviewed it and it points to the ifact that Germany is by seeking to ihave tho matter go before a prize icourt endeavoring to change its prev- Hous attitude. . This country is seek- {ng only the pursuit of the proper icourse. It is asking nothing unusual iwhile Germany wants to adopt a new f/method for the effect it will have up- jon other cases which have arisen, or ‘which may arise, with other countries, That as the note points out is noth- “ing with which this country has any- thing to do. It stands by the provi- 'slons to which it committed itself un- der the ancient treaty and it is ask- ing nothing which ought not to be expected when it urges Germany to do the same. The recompense which Germany should make is not a matter which should be delayed or which should be determined by a German court or by others. It is a violation of an agreement between the two coun- tries and it should be settled by them, and the quicker it can be done the more it will be to the credit of the country whose warship's commander committed the wrong. ENFORCING THE LAW. ‘When it is announced in Pittsburgh that jail sentences will bo imposed upon those who persist in violating “ithe automobile law, it must be rec- ognized that that locality is suffering from a similar experience to other parts of the country. Laws regulating the automobile as well as other vehi- cles are drawn with much care for tae protection of the rights of the users of- the highways and invariably they are treated with consideration and fairness. Even when it comes to the enforcement of the law there is invariably manifested a disposition to be lenfent and give the violators a fair deal, but when that attitude fails in /a proper reciprocity on the part of the offenders it is high time, s is realized in Pittsburgh, that that class which js unwilling to be bound by regula- tions must be made to understand that they possess no privileges beyond any other. 1t is the driver who enaps his finger at restraint, the fellow who is anxious 0 #how Off or the reckless daredevil * 'who figures in such persistent dis- respect for the law, and it is this class which places the driver who is anxious to comply. with the law under constantly increasing regulations. No city or community can afford to ig- nore them however. They are the cause of the establishment of the ‘much complained of traps. They set en example which as long es they are lallowed to persist in carrying it out lonly invites others to do . llkewise. They are the ones who pay up, and laugh when fines are imposed and then £0 out and repeat the offense and con- sider the fun is worth the price. It \1s therefore no surprise when citles {are driven to just such an snnounce- ment as Pittsburgh has made. It is the only proper method of obtaintng _respect for the law and protecting the ilives and rights of others. MORE BRYAN WEAKNESS, The ‘more that is learned about Sec- retary Bryan's manner of dealing with . the representatives of foreign coun- the greater the cause for satis- nt the he does not attempt to tell what he did say. He therefore falls to clear up the situation or to show wherein the ambassador misunderstood him and it is not shown that he should not have the full credit for causing all the mis- chief -which was created by his lack of good judgment. It is an unenviable position in which Mr, Bryan is placed but there is no one to blame for it but himself. What- hgve Boeul Which Tie an tn his position should have realized the seriousness ever the idea may wished to convey a with which a statement coming from him would be taken and guarded well against any misunderstanding. Mr. Bryan does not today and did mot then represent American sentiment and none can be more aware of this fact that the ambassador who was caught by his undiplomatic statement, CONNECTICUT FARMS, There is cause for gratification at the report of the state board of agri- culture to the effect that the back to the farm idea has prevailed so exten- sively that there are today no aband- oned farms in Connecticut. That is the object that was aimed at in the movement and the report indicates that it has come quicker than was anticipated. Much effort has been devoted to the cause through the various organiza- tions of the state which are Interested in securing a greater production from the soil. It has been clearly demon- strated that Connecticut land was by no means utilized. to the point where it even supplied the demands of the state and that it was possible to get as profitable results therefrom as from any other section in the country. Just as much as there are excellent possi- bilities in reclaiming swamp and oth- er lands of which no valuable use has been made, S0 has it been convincingly shown that negligence was the only thing which was preventing Connec- ticut and other New Egland states from making good use of the land which was standing idle. - Many things have contributed to the farm movement such as trolley ex- tensions, good roads, Tural delivery service, the telephone and the automo- bile. The farm today is in closer touch with the city than it ever was. In many instances a mew class of people are taking up the problems of farm life but there is good evidence to back the bellef that the next ten years will see still greater utilization of Connecticut farm land than ever before.

From the size of the New York bond issue it might be imagined that that city was getting ready for a war of its own. The new world’s auto record for speed has been established, but no one appears to be siriving as hard for similar honors for safety. The school for midshipmen at An- napolis is having trouble but it is causing no more worry than the school of politics in Indiana. ‘When it is declared that one item of the cost of driving the Russians out of Galicla was 760,000 Teutons who can blame the German socialists for wanting peace? Even though the Sick Man of Tu- rope may be preparing to become the Sick Man of Asia, the Turk has shown that while there is life he can be ex- pected to fight. Germany is going to allow Switzer- land to send food supplies to Luxem- burg. From what Germany has done to that grand duchy it ought to supply such needs itself. In his declaration that the Teutons have given no decisivé blow to Rus- sia General Ivanoff gives no indica- tlon that he is willing to have his name changed to Ivenuff. The bellef of the Thaw alienist that the rich young map never was insane corresponds exactly with the ideas of many who are not specialists. It was simply a bluff to save his life, Another record wheat crop is pre- dicted for this year, but from the dif- flculty experienced in harvesting it there would appear to be more in- terest in talking about it than work- ing for it. That Prllman porter who has re- tired to a life of ease and travsl on the fortune he has acquired will now have a chance to contribute to that class of “sufferers” from which he has just graduated. There is little use in keeping those beans and corn at Vera Cruz until they spoil, simply because they cannot be delivered to the suffering. There are enough in this country who could moke good use of them. Hven though Austria got the im- pression from Mr. Bryan that this country’s -attitude on the Lusitania need not be taken seriously, it now has a chance to alter its opinion on the former secretary of state. ‘Halsey Reid, the foremost criminal lawyer in the state, had been Har- ford Brooke's friend before this thing had happened. Each had gone into the world, resolving to put up a great fight. Reld had . succeeded. Brooke? He faced Reld across the ‘Warden's desk. “Well, Harford, don't worry. Bvery- thing will come out all right.” Brooke received the assertion with a smile. Suddenly he sat bolt up- right and said: “Listen, Halsey, you haven't heard my story. There are two sides to everything. Yes, I killea a man; I murdered him. But that's all you know, that's all everybody knows. Now, Halsey, I'm going to tell you the why of it. “Remember when 1 left La Salle to fight the world? I resolved to make good. With Mr, King's letter of recommendation I secured a job in a bank after reaching Chicago. I liked the job and was glad to work there. I worked for good people and was well treated. I saw my oppor- tunity and knew I would rise. “In the bank there was a fellow named Saxton. He was a soclable chep but too fond of dress. He was a cashier; and I always wondered Wwhy a happy-go-lucky chap like him should have such a responsible posi- tion. “Saxton and I grew quite intimate. We had both sought the same girl and he was accepted. I won't tell you of my disappointment. Although 1 was rejected, Muriel and I were firm friends.” Saxton was the happiest man in the world and he didn’t object to our friendship. “One night he broke into my room, his face pale, his eves worried, and ery excited. “‘Harford, he said. Tm wrons. I forged a check and I'm detected.. 1 needed the money for our wedding.’ “He wanted me to accept the blame 50 as to shield Murlel from the dis- grace of his act. At first I refused. But you know how it is. I knew the disgrace would break Muriel's heart. I couldn’t bear to see her suffer be- cause of the disgrace of his act. He kept on pleading until finally I agreed to_shoulder the blame. “Of course, I expected a term in jail. Saxton promised to try to make the sentence as light as possible. He promised me $5000 after my term would expire. In the morning I con- fessed. They fell for my story, and I was sentenced to five years' impris- onment. Halsey, I won't tell you how I suffered in prison. Sometimes I thought I had committed too great a sacrifice. Had I played the part of a hero? I read in the papers of Sax- ton's marriake to Muriel. After his marriage, I guess, he must have im- proved his habits, for he began to rise steadily in the estimation of the big men in the bank. “My five years were at last up. T left the prison a free man. I did mot have any ambition. Where could I If T went back to La Salle the would scorn me. I was @ branded man in Chicago. My reputa- tion was destroved. I decided to visit Saxton and secure the money he had rromised me and then go East. “I reached his house and was ad- mitted by a maid. I was ushered into his_presence. There was @& furtive look in his eye: “‘How are you? he asked half- heartedly, as he extended his hand. T told him about my purpose in comirg. ‘Oh, that promise! You don’t suppose I meant that?

Get out of here, and get_out quick. “I leveled the revolver and fired. After that I don't know what hap- Dened. I sent for you and here I-am.” Harford Brooke had finished _his story. The lawyer's eyes were filled with tears. His voice was shaky as he spoke. “Harford, perhaps. I might have done the same thing it I had been in your place. I don't know. But I know this: I can frame a case on that story.’ Halsey Reid paused while he lighted a cigar and blew slow puffs of smoke towards the ceiling. Harford Brooke sat sobbing in the chair across the de t's no use, Halsey; I know it isn't. I knew it when I sent for you. I knew it when they let me come in the office here to talk to you. But I wanted to tell my story to someone— that knew me, that would under- stand.” “Listen, Harford,” eald Reid. “Did you ever learn what become of that check that Saxton forged? DIid you ever see the check? " said Brooke; T was too dazed and worried to think about it. The trial, where I pleaded guilty, was all dreamlike to me. I never cared about the check. What difference did it make to me? “It makes this difference, Harford,” said Reld. “The name that Saxton forged to that check was—Halsey Reld, my name. I still have the check.” % “But 1 murdered Saxton, Halse: Your holding the bad ‘check doesn't change that.” = “No,” said Reld, Brooke's hand; “but it changes some things.

On Friday last the local councll re- ceived its charter from National Head- quarters, which permits it to go ahead officlally’ with the job of running scout work in the town of Norwich. While the work will not begin in ear- nest until fall, there are some new Tegulations that must be observed. From now on it will be necessary for the scout commissioner, or a rep- resentative of the council o counter- sign all orders for badges or scout equipment that are sent in to New York. Also no uniforms or parts thereof, can be obtained at Porteous & Mitchel’'s by any Norwich scout until they receive a card bearing the signature of the commissioner of his deputy. Within a_few. days, bfanks for this purfose will be in the hands of the scoutmasters. No headquarters for the council have been selected as vet, but Scout Commissioner Bruce can be addressed at § Grove street, and reached by tel- ephone at 628-12. Repert of Troop 3 Committee. The meeting began at 7:50 Tues- day night by saluting the flag. After the roll call the treasurer's and sec- retary’s reports were read and ac- cepted. Scoutmaster Bruce then _explained the purpose of the meeting which was to welcome the new officers. Mr. Ely chairman of the troop committee and Mr. Gibbs president of the Local Council gave helpful talks about scout work. A report of the troop work was read by the scoutmaster and after that a Dutch feed was given. Scoutmaster Bruce was presented with a present by the members of the troop as a recognition of his dutles as scoutmaster. He then officially turned the troop over to the new scoutmaster and his assistants. Scoutmaster Bruce made his re- port as follows: Norwich, Conn., June 29, 1915, The Troop Committee, Troop No. 3, B. S. of A. Gentlemen: 7 Once more we are at tie close of the scout year, which in general has been much more successful than last vear. During the past year the members of the troop have really accomplished some worthwhile scout work. Our first get-to-gether meeting after the summer recess was held on Sep- tember 2§th, and the first business meeting was on October Gth. At that time there were 24 names on the roll, under the following officers: Scout- master, B. M. Bruce; assistant scot- master, L. B. Hill; troop leader, H. J. Ferguson; assistant troop leader, L. Slocum; patrol leaders, L. Slocum, Ferguson and E. Sevin; secretary, C. Hopkins; treasurer, B. F. Rogers. Dur. ing the year 8 scouts were honorably discharged, 2t their own requests; 2 were dishonorably discharged, and 8§ received transfer papers to other troops. Seven new names have been added to the roll, making a_total of 18 members to date. The officials of the troop have thought it wise to limit the membership to boys who are also members of the Y. M. C. A., be- fowed She troop. thronen i mannes low, o D its - tion with the “Bflclaagn. o In scout work there were run two inter-patrol _contests,” the first of which was easily taken by the Eagle patrol of the younger boys, while the Bob White patrol of the older boys WHAT THE BOY SCOUTS ARE DOING captured the second contest. _For this last a local business house offered scout haversacks as prizes for each member of the winning patrol. The principal advantage gained in these contests was a new insight as to the importance of the daily good turn that a scout must do. In most cases the advancement ot the individual scouts has been satis- factory. The ranking at present is 1 candidate, 12 tenderfeet, and 5 second class scouts, which is the best of any of the local troops. It is expected to have at least 2 first class scouts by Fall. The matter of finances has been a hard one as usual. An excellent op- portunity to make money was offered the troop by the Curtis Publishing Co., but those scouts who took up with the offer hava mot put forth their best efforts, so that the result is not as good as was hoped for. Hense the condition of the treasury is such that plans for a summer camping at this time are undecided. A most pleasing feature of the troop history is the fact that three of the former members have again be- come interested and have joined the work as leaders. Robert Church is now one of the assistant scoutmasters of this troop. Phillips Cook is acting assistant scoutmaster for Troop® No, 6, and Ralph Graham is troop leader and acting _ assistant scoutmaster for Troop No. 1. On October 29th, members of the troop witnessed a scout demonstra- tion for the first time as the guests of the New London scouts. On Octo- ber 24th, the troop dld most excellent work as guides for the State Y. M. C. A. Boys' conference that was held in | Norwich. For the first time, the troop took parc in celebrating the national birth- day of the scouts, which also hap- pens to be the birthday of the troop, on February Sth, by having a public meeting in the Y. M. C. A. hall, to which the parents and friends of the boys were invited. On February 22nd, 8 ‘members of the troop and the scoutmaster attended a rally of one thousand scouts at Hartford, where they had & very pleasant and profit- able time.

Belglum, now back of the invaders' lines, is one of the best supplied territories in the world for rail communication, and the railways of Great Britain, Germany and France are equal to almost any strain that a war traffic may put upon them. * “Europe possesses more than 212,500 miles of railway lines, of which about one-third falls to the share of the central German powers, the German Empire and Austria-Hungary. many, with its 210,000 square miles of area, has about 40,000 miles of rail line, while France, square miles, has trackage. - “Russia and Finland, together, with a total area of 2,095,616 square miles, or very nearly ten times the size of Germany, slightly less than that of Germany.

Henri Carton de Wiart, wife of the minister of justice of Belgium, was sentenced May 21 to three months’ im- prisonment by the German military court, but later deported to Germany, are now made known in the following statement: . Mme. Carton de Wiart, wife of the former (sic) minister of justice, was sentenced on May 21, 1915, by the mil- itary court of the Government to three months and two weeks' imprisonment. Mme. Carton de Wiart acknowledged herself as having in a great number of cases, In contravention of the regula- tions’ of German service, caused her own and other people’s letters to transmitted in Belglum and outside the Dutch border. She has in so_doing withdrawn these letters from control and has made it possible to use them for the purpose of espionage and the convevance of prohibited news. She has furthermore. from her own avowal, distributed prohibited writings while she was aware of their offending char- acter. And, finally, she has, alwa: from her own avowal, withdrawn and destroyed a letter addressed to the kommandantur which was by mistake dropped into her own letter-box. By such procedure it is possible to en- danger the security of German troops. It has, therefore, been necessary to sentence Mme. Carton de Wiart and to deport her to Germany. To be complete, says a London paper, the above motice should have added that it Mme. Carton de Wiart has acknowledged recelving or transmitting letters, such correspondence had no other object than toallow Belgian fam- ilies who remained in the occupied part of the country to receive news from their members who are out of the country, and notably from those who are serving with the colors. With regard to the writings which she acknowledged having circulated, they are the pastoral letter of his eminence Cardinal Mercier. Finally, in a letter addressed to the kommandantur had been delivered to her private house and had been found in her waste-paper basket, it does not seem that it was the duty of this Belgian lady to remedy the blunders of the German postal service.

They Have Been of First Importance In Every Russian Defeat—One- third of European Lines German Control, (Special to The Bulletin.) Washington, D. C. June 30.—Ef- fective railway mileage has played a potent part in the winning of modern Pattles. The Russians have not only had well-equipped, well-trained men to deal with in the eastern war theatre, but, also, a wonderful, strategically invaluable net of raflways. The Ger- man railways have been instruments of first importance in every Russian defeat, On the western front, where the fighting has been more stationary, the highly developed railway system of Germany meets the equaily highly developed system of France. How weil France and Germany are prepared to meet the emergencies of war trans- portation as compared with the other belligerents, is shown in a recent bul- letin_ issued by the National _Geo. graphic Society.
